Chapter 55

The wind suddenly blew in the yard. Old Mrs. Chen shivered with excitement. She touched the linen clothes on her body and looked up at the sky. It was so gloomy that she couldn't tell what time it was.

She frowned, loudly urging her daughters-in-law to work quickly, and she couldn't see the ground when it got dark!

Mrs. Dong carried the pig food and walked quickly to the pig pen, shouting to Zhao Di to count the chickens quickly.

Zhaodi responded repeatedly, put down the chicken food in her hand, held the stick, and shouted for the chickens to come and eat. She looked at the chickens running back from outside one by one and counted them with her fingers.

Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya hurriedly collected the red dates. The red dates on the jujube tree were picked a few days ago. The good ones were sold in the town, and the rest were dried in the dustpan.

Smoke billowed from the kitchen, it was Mrs. He who was cooking dinner.

Zhao Miaomiao raised her hands to put away the clothes that were lying on the bamboo poles, and looked at the rolling black clouds in the sky, not knowing whether Xianggong was still in the county or on the way back.

She kept putting away her clothes, then turned her head and said, "Ruirui, stop playing, take Xiaopangdun back to the house, it's going to rain!"

Ruirui was facing the wind, and the small windmill in his hand was spinning rapidly. Hearing the mother's shout, the smile on the corner of his mouth narrowed, and he looked at the small windmill before putting it down reluctantly.

The dead leaves were blown round and round by the wind, and the little fat man stretched out his little hand to catch them.

Ruirui held his little hand and said, "No more playing, it's going to rain."

The little chubby blinked dumbly, "Giggle? Play~"

Ruirui took his little paw and coaxed, "Stop playing, you have to drink medicine in the rain."

Drink the medicine!Little Fatty wrinkled his entire face, shook his head, and said in full resistance, "No no~ drink medicine~"

Ruirui tugged at him, "Well~ I won't drink medicine when I go back with my brother."

Seeing the eldest son dragging the little chubby, walking into the house with small steps, Zhao Miaomiao followed with his clothes in his arms. As soon as he stepped into the house, there was a patter of rain outside.

Old Mrs. Chen muttered outside, "It's raining, why don't the old men come back, if they are stupid, they will bury their heads in their work and don't look at the sky..."

Zhao Miaomiao frowned and watched the rain fall like running water, took a piece of ginger from the shelf, and glanced at the two sons who were watching the rain at the door, "Ruirui looks a little fat, don't let him play with the rain."

Ruirui was playing with Xiaopangdun with a small windmill, and said hello.

Zhao Miaomiao took an umbrella to the kitchen and patted her clothes to catch the rainwater.

Mrs. He added another piece of firewood to the stove, "Fifth sibling?"

Zhao Miaomiao washed the mud off the ginger with water and said with a smile, "It's raining outside. Dad and the others haven't come back yet. I'm afraid they will catch a cold in this weather."

He's mouth moved, why would my father-in-law and the others catch a cold? Seeing that it was going to rain, why wouldn't they find a place to hide from the rain? Besides, the land at home is not far from the village. If they get wet, they can just change their clothes when they get wet. How can a grown man stay cold in this little time on the road?

She thought to herself, "Fifth brother and sister, let me come!"

Zhao Miaomiao nodded.

He took ginger from her hand, put it on the chopping board, and cut it with a kitchen knife.

There was movement outside, Zhao Miaomiao immediately raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law three, I'll go out and have a look."

He didn't raise his head, "Go, go! I'll cook the ginger soup."

Zhao Miaomiao came out of the kitchen and saw that her father-in-law and the others were back.

Old man Chen pulled the donkey cart, followed by several members of Chen Shou's family who also entered the yard one after another.

Mrs. Chen was cursing at the top of her throat, "During it! Seeing that it's going to rain, I don't know how to come back sooner!"

Old man Chen got annoyed and replied, "Isn't it just a little bit of straw that hasn't been pulled out? If you want to pull it back, don't talk about it, you old woman..."

Mrs. Chen stared at her, but Mr. Chen immediately disappeared.

Mrs. Chen continued to curse, "You idiots, why don't you hurry up and put down your things, what are you doing outside in the rain..."

Chen Shou's family and Chen Jiahe put down their burdens and went into the house.

Chen Shoushan and Chen Shouye unloaded the donkey and took it to the pigsty to shelter from the rain.

Zhao Miaomiao looked away and said, "Sister-in-law three, father-in-law and the others are back."

He looked at the sliced ​​ginger in the bowl, "The ginger soup is not cooked, and they didn't get any rain."

Zhao Miaomiao held the umbrella, blushed and said, "The ginger has been cut, let's cook it! It's good to have a bowl of ginger soup to keep warm."

He scratched his head, "Okay."

……

It was still raining, and the Chen family's meals were all on the table.

Old Mrs. Chen held the door, looking at the courtyard door with worry on her face.

Zhao Miaomiao also stared at the courtyard door, "Mother, the food will get cold later, and the children won't be hungry, so you can eat first."

Mrs. Chen took a look at the big and small ones who were all seated, and returned to the dining table in silence, left a meal for Chen Shouxing, and began to distribute corn buns as usual.

Zhao Miaomiao drank the corn mush absently, thinking why Xianggong hadn't come back yet, and if he couldn't come back when it rained normally, Xianggong would send someone a message!
Mrs. Chen also ate tastelessly, wondering why she came back.

Suddenly a familiar voice came from the door, "Dinner is ready."

Zhao Miaomiao raised her head suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she trotted over, "Sister!"

Looking at his wet hair and the dry clothes on his body, he knew that he had gone back to his room to change clothes before coming here.

When Mrs. Chen saw someone coming back, she felt relieved and said, "Why did you come back, hurry up and have dinner."

Chen Shouxing nodded.

Zhao Miaomiao raised her foot to go out.

Chen Shouxing grabbed her and asked, "Where is my wife going?"

Zhao Miaomiao said, "Mother, there is ginger soup in the kitchen."

"I'll go!" Chen Shouxing let go and said again, "Mother, I'll go to the kitchen and have a bowl of ginger soup first."

Mrs. Chen responded.

Mrs. He burst out laughing, turned her ambiguous eyes around Chen Shouxing and Zhao Miaomiao, and said jokingly, "Hey! I said daddy and they are all back, why did the fifth younger brother ask me to cook ginger soup? It turned out to be distressing!"

Zhao Miaomiao's face turned red.

Chen Shouxing raised his mouth and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, my wife loves me, isn't it normal? Brother-in-law also loves sister-in-law, the water in the house these days is..."

His eyeballs looked towards Chen Shouhe.

She was used to seeing the old fifth couple tired and crooked, and the old lady Chen turned her eyes to Chen Shouhe in an instant.

Even the old man Chen who ignored everything looked up at Chen Shouhe.

Chen Shouhe: "..."

He had a thick skin and didn't feel shy at all. He continued to tease the two of them with a smile, "Oh! This is covered, it's sticky, the relationship between the couple is so good!"

Zhao Miaomiao saw that everyone's eyes were on her again, her face turned even redder, and she said quickly, "I'm going to make ginger soup!"

Chen Shouxing shook his head and followed out with a smile.

Mrs. Chen coughed and scolded, "You too, Mrs. Miao Miao is thin-skinned, please stop teasing her, and you all restrain yourself!"

Mr. He: "..."

Mom, you haven't restrained yourself!

In the kitchen, Zhao Miaomiao stared at Chen Shouxing following him, and asked cautiously, "What are you doing here?"
